Question

balance the following equation
HBr+HBrO3=Br2+H2O

Answer 1

Explanation:

HBrO3 + 5 HBr → 3 Br2 + 3 H2O

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

5 Br-I - 5 e- → 5 Br0

(oxidation)

BrV + 5 e- → Br0

(reduction)

HBr is a reducing agent, HBrO3 is an oxidizing agent (synproportionation (comproportionation
